how do you a rabbit

My Chloe is trained and it was easy as training a kitten. I started by placing a litter box with hay in it (on top of an absorbent all natural and safe bedding product) in each corner of the cage. She naturally picked her corner and box, then I placed one in the living room and one in the dining room. She has complete free run of the house in the day and I cage her at night, no accidents. You have to bunny proof the home though. Not all bunnies train. Some are just un-trainable just like some cats never want to train.

It's real easy to do. Buy a rabbit litter pan from a pet store and get some litter for it either corncob litter or recycled paper pellets. We use Peter's Premium Litter which is made with recycled paper and it absorbs more. Once you get all of that stuff fill the pan with some litter, it tells you how much to put in it, and place it in the cage and place a few of the rabbit's poop pellets inside it. They will get the point from there on. It's really simple and easier than housebreaking a dog. Good Luck!

I guess I was lucky, mine just used his litter box automatically :) I have one of those corner litter boxes, and it's lower so it's easier for him to hop in. They do poop a lot though, and you do have to change it out frequently. Someone mentioned putting their hay in the litterbox area, I disagree with that idea. I don't think that the food should be in the potty area, one because of disease and infections they can get if poop gets on the food, and two I think it's better to have a separate area for eat, play, potty, etc. Just my opinion there...

Yes, rabbits can be trained to use a litter box, they wont always go in it, but most of the time will. We use the aspen pellets in ours, and in one corner we always place a fresh pile of hay. We use a cat litter scoop to clean it with, the dry aspen pellets will fall through the grill in the scoop, but the wet ones swell up and won't, and of course the rabbit poop, won't either. As for training them not to chew, well we got ours when she was young and taught her by just shooing her away from the furniture and saying "no". But we DO make sure that things like power cords are up out of the way, just in case she does try to chew on them.

They do tend to be really easy to litterbox train. But be sure not to get their box too clean (saving some pellets from one time to the next works well) and if they ever go somewhere else or kick pellets out of the box, be sure to clean it up really well and wipe the area down with vinegar or enzymatic cleaner, because rabbits basically like to potty in places that already smell like rabbit droppings.

It's basically just like a cat, if you supply everything, show them where it is and they will use it. We had one rabbit that was trained, and when we got another, the first one actually taught her with out us having to lift a finger. Needless to say the her was a he, and now we have four more!
